No obvious baddies, then again, msinfo32 is the first thing they'd hide
from.

Do you know what this entry is?

I see a 'friendly' name but no executable.

However, you're running two active crapware tools concurrently, one of which
is still in a rather shakey beta state. Start with uninstalling MSAS. You'll
also want to obtain HD diagnostics for the drive and give that a try to see
what it says.

The puzzling thing is it happens in safe mode as well. That's generally
going to point to hardware unless you're infected with a rather bad nasty.
If you want, you can start here http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=4075 to see
about getting the system looked at seriously for nasties.
